Abstract

In filling a mould (10) for prodn. of optical lenses, consisting of two mould shells (11A, 11B) within a closure piece (12) that together form the desired cavity (13), the moulding material (18) is introduced through a pouring inlet (14) machined at the bottom of the closure piece (12) by a pump system (15).
